Sensorimotor network
In neuroscience, the sensorimotor network is a large-scale brain network. The SMN includes somatosensory and motor regions and extends to the supplementary motor areas. Studies have shown that this network is activated during motor tasks such as finger tapping indicating that these regions may involve a pre-mediated state that ready the brain when performing and coordinating a motor task. Dysfunction in the SMN has been implicated in various neuropsychiatric disorders.Pathophysiology
